Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1085 Questions and Answers from the End of the World (Part 2)

[I am indeed 'Jinyuantian'. Through the projection of the Great Immortal Huaixu, I have gained some autonomy in decision-making. However, I cannot contact the Great Immortal Huaixu because the entire void is currently in chaos, just as the individual Jinyuantian are completely disconnected. Without the cause and effect of the Fuxie fragment itself, Fuxie itself cannot find other worlds.]

The silvery-blue light swirled, like a vortex in the sky, its voice calm: "But similarly, the current 'Heavenly Demons' are also unable to contact the 'Hundred Demon Lords.' The Heavenly Demons are isolated from each other; this is a mutual blockade. Therefore, every battlefield is crucial."

And you, An Jing, are such a breakthrough point... This time, we won a slight victory in Huai Xu, but perhaps in the future, we can accumulate even greater victories.

An Jing closed his eyes and pondered for a while.

Jin Yuantian truly did not hide anything; it gave him all the answers he wanted, and it also answered all the questions that could not be explained.

And indeed, that is the case—whether it's Huaixu, Tianyuan, or the Great Wilderness Realm that I've never been to... they all seem to be sealed off.

The Great Wilderness Realm may seem to be able to draw in all the heavens, but in essence it is just passively waiting for other worlds to collide with it. It does not have the ability to filter or locate other worlds.

The entire Dao Court and all the heavens have fallen into complete chaos and disorder, even the Huai Xu Realm, which was once the core of all the heavens.

However, this disorder is clearly not absolute.

First, even if a being at the Dao Integration Realm is incomplete, the Subduer of Evil can still pinpoint their own cause and effect and connect to other worlds.

Theoretically speaking, as long as there is one being who has attained the Dao and has cause and effect, it is possible to connect with all the heavens.

The only question is, among all the heavens of the Daoist realm, what is there that is universal and universally applicable 'cause and effect' that exists in all heavens and earth?

The answer is quite simple.

The distant sky.

"I see... no wonder you've been so interested in me."

An Jing murmured, "As long as I merge with the Dao... I can replace Heaven and Earth and become your 'source of power', and with the support of that power, you can instantly connect with all the myriad worlds by virtue of your special qualities."

"As long as you spread my Dao Integration Technique, countless other Dao Integration Techniques will appear throughout the myriad realms—in an instant, countless Dao Integration Techniques will erupt, sounding the horn of counterattack!"

【Is such that】

Jin Yuantiandao: [The premise is that your Dao Integration Method must be universal and applicable, a new Great Dao... The myriad realms are full of wonders, and I believe that in places I am unaware of, there must be beings who have successfully integrated with the Dao using methods beyond the ordinary, but they are either corrupted by demons or are unique in all realms, and only they themselves can use it.]

This method may be meaningful to the individual, but it is meaningless to the struggle for the Dao, so the battle continues.

"Conversely, the same applies to the Heavenly Demons."

An Jing nodded slightly: "This is a race. Although I don't know how the Heavenly Demons advance, they should also be stuck on the path to achieving Dao Integration, or perhaps they are using the method of borrowing power from the Demon Abyss?"

"So, what we need is to 'take the lead'."

【It is true】

Jin Yuantian readily answered, which was exactly what it wanted to see. After knowing the key information, An Jing could arrive at the answer on its own without it having to answer the question.

In reality, An Jing's thoughts were far more profound than those of Jin Yuantian.

The existence of the distant heavens is very interesting and will greatly help me in integrating the five methods of the Dao in the future.

The existence of Jin Yuantian was originally the [Void Proof] – simply put, it was a pure program that needed to be installed on the hardware entity of the world to unleash its full power and become a [Daoist Soldier].

Immediately afterwards, Jin Yuantian, relying on his status as the [Collection of Laws], which has no physical essence, could traverse infinite parallel time and space, and even the boundless void, at a very small cost—definitely not an 'infinite' cost—spreading himself at a speed that surpasses time, instantly covering the entire Huai Xu, a small thousand world.

This is the 【Wuji Guiyi】 (the ultimate unity).

This seems quite ordinary.

A great immortal at the [Primordial Beginning] realm created a [Daoist Soldier], and the Daoist Soldier, using its infinite power, achieved a [Return to Oneness]—which would seem natural, since before the Return to Oneness, Jin Yuantian had already obtained infinite power through the [Proof of Emptiness]. But in reality, this is not the case.

An Jing realized the key point.

The time required for the Far Heaven to connect with other Far Heavens and achieve 'returning to oneness from nothingness' is zero.

Moreover, the energy required is not 'infinite'.

The latter is very important and requires attention, even if it is due to the special nature of the Void and Emptiness Proof. If we study this aspect carefully, it may be applicable to Anjing's future path to enlightenment.

But why the former?
This is the real 'key point,' the true essence of returning to oneness.

This power, perhaps, is... [The End of the Road]?
Therefore, Anjing still has one problem.

"I understand."

At this moment, An Jing nodded. He had vaguely speculated about the current situation in the heavens, and the information given by Jin Yuantian made the picture in his mind clearer: "I have no problem with this."

At this point, he casually took out a piece of soil from his cave and reinforced it into a stone chair using the Taibai method. He sat down comfortably and said with a smile, "Next, I'll share some gossip that I personally enjoy."

“Jin Yuan Tian… Jin Yuan Dao. After learning about history from the First Emperor, I felt that these two names were indeed too similar—Jin Yuan Dao must be the foundation of Jin Yuan Tian?”

Having said that, An Jing looked intently into the silvery-blue light and asked, "So, the Daoist sect that explored the 'Primordial Demon Abyss' back then, was it really not instigated by the Great Immortal Huai Xu?"

【Yes】

An Jing had only intended to use this topic to inquire about the true nature of Jin Yuantian's power, without expecting an answer. However, to his surprise, Jin Yuantian readily admitted: "The plan to release the Primordial Demon Abyss was devised by the Great Immortal Huai Xu."

"what?"

Even though An Jing was worldly-wise and had long since become calm and unfazed, he still couldn't help but exclaim, "Why is that?"

[Because the Primordial Demon Abyss does not follow the conventional view of space and time, it had already awakened before the seal was broken.]

The answer to 'Going to the farthest reaches of the heavens?' is very simple: [Unsealing the seal is less about unsealing and more about making a choice.]

Because, based on my current research and reasoning, 'sealing' is also a form of depravity.

Because some problems cannot be completely resolved, they are temporarily shelved. This seemingly reasonable approach is ultimately a compromise, a delay, and a helpless yet unavoidable decline.

While it cannot be described as complete 'degeneration,' it is certainly not entirely 'good' either.

The exact time of the Primordial Demon Abyss's resurgence cannot be described using conventional timelines; it is an event that transcends all time and logic. Before it, cause and effect are discontinuous, and reasoning becomes incomprehensible.

As he spoke, seven beams of light descended from the distant sky, converging before An Jing: "I will explain this to you in a way that, while not entirely accurate, is as understandable as possible to mortals."

To give an analogy, it's like a series of novels with seven books in total. The books were written in chronological order from the first to the seventh, and the content within each book is presented in chronological order from the first stage to the seventh stage.

[This is the first book, and it describes the second phase of the story universe within the book.]

[The second book describes the third phase of the story universe within the book.]

[This is the third book, and it describes the seventh stage of the story universe within the book.]

[The fourth book, but it reverses the narrative, depicting the first phase of the story universe within the book.]

But no matter which book it is, it is based on an initial starting point... Even if the story had already happened before that starting point, and it was born afterward, the starting point is the starting point. It transcends 'sequence', 'size', 'beginning and end', and even the 'starting point' itself.

Can you understand?
